Vanadium Resources Limited (ASX: VR8; DAX: TR3) (the “Company”) (ASX: VR8, DAX: TR3) is pleased to release its activities and cashflow reports for the three months ended 30 September 2023.

STEELPOORTDRIFT VANADIUM PROJECT

Front-End Engineering Design & Project Delivery Model

The Company commenced FEED activities during the quarter, working with the key engineering firms for the Concentrator and SRL plants to make the Project construction ready. The current focus is on finalising detailed designs of the plants and drawing up maps to show the position of equipment and plant in relation to each other. The FEED work will also include schedule optimisation and the development of the Project Execution and Operational Readiness plans. Following completion of FEED work, tenders will be drawn up for each specific piece of plant/equipment and, once finalised, will be issued to pre-identified suppliers.

During the quarter the Company also reviewed and refined the delivery strategy for the Project. The Company plans to implement a series of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“ EPC” ) contracts across the Project, with a view to ensuring that the appropriate engineering firm and/or equipment manufacturer has the necessary expertise, experience and ability to provide relevant performance guarantees and liquidated damages for that part of the plant.

To reduce the number of construction packages, several sections of the equipment will be combined into packages to be managed as a mini-projects within the wider construction scope. A Project Manager will be appointed for each site to manage these packages and their interface risks, together with a further Project Manager who will oversee the entire development and construction of the Project.

Environmental Authorisation & Water Use Licence Applications

The Environmental Impact Assessment (“ EIA” ) and Environmental Management Program for each site was distributed for public comment during the September quarter. Following the completion of the public comment period, these reports will be finalised and submitted for approval.

Integrated Water Use Licence Applications for both sites have been significantly progressed and are in the final phase of the application process with the Department of Water and Sanitation (“ DWS” ). During the quarter the Company drafted technical reports for each application in preparation for a consultation and review process before final submission to the DWS. Minor changes to the water usage following updates to the plant design will require review by the DWS before the reports can be finalised and submitted.

Social and Labour Plan, Community Engagement & Re-Zoning Applications

Following completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study (“ DFS” ), there was a requirement to update the Social and Labour Plan (“ SLP” ) underpinning the Mining Right to match the Ore Reserve Estimate[3] and updated designs. Further work to assess the impact of the proposed activities on the local communities and to plan and develop procedures around employment, training, procurement, and potential infrastructure to ensure that the Project has a positive socio-economic impact. During the quarter, the revised SLP was completed and

3 Refer to ASX Announcement 4 October 2022 “VR8 Updates Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve for the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project”

Page 2 of 8

provided to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (“ DMRE” ) for review, with approval expected to take approximately three to four months following submission.

In September, the Company submitted several re-zoning applications to the Municipality for their review and approval. While the Mining Right has been granted over the whole property, Steelpoortdrift 365-KT, it is important that the individual areas are zoned appropriately for the activities that will take place including mining, concentrating and installing the photovoltaic (“ PV” ) solar plant.

Additional Project Development Workstreams

During the quarter, the Company also progressed the following workstreams:

  • Site Access Road : commissioned a design process for a more efficient and safer site access road.

  • Solar Power : engaged Kadoma Investments (Pty) Ltd (“ Kadoma ”) to assist with the development of a 35MW PV solar plant adjacent to the Tweefontein / SRL site and the design of the 10MW PV solar farm at the Steelpoortdrift / Concentrator site.

  • Rope Conveyor : commissioned an EIA for the proposed route with a Pre-Feasibility Study to be commenced.

CORPORATE

Offtake Process

Following the completion of the strategic placement to Matrix in May 2023[4] , the Company focused on negotiating the terms of agency and offtake agreements for 40% of vanadium products produced from Phase 1 operations of the Project. While the initial four-month exclusivity period granted to Matrix expired at the end of the quarter, the Company is pleased to report that discussions are progressing with Matrix and that both parties have reaffirmed their commitment to seek to enter into agency and offtake agreements to achieve the outcomes envisioned in the original memorandum of understanding.

Significant interest has been shown in the remaining product available for offtake, with multiple indicative term sheets and expressions of interest provided by North American and European groups during the last six months. During the quarter, the Company progressed discussions and entered into negotiations with a view to securing an agency and/or offtake agreement, together with a strategic equity investment. While the Company is pleased to have progressed negotiations on securing further agency and/or offtake, there is no guarantee that these discussions will culminate in a completed transaction.

The Company has engaged global corporate advisory firm GC Partners Limited, headquartered in Hong Kong, to assist with the offtake and strategic equity processes underway. GC Partners has significant experience in negotiating and securing offtake agreements with Tier 1 industry counterparties in the critical mineral space, including past engagements in vanadium.

Funding Process

As previously reported, the Company is pleased to have several potential funding pathways available to finance the Project having received a number of non-binding indicative term sheets from debt financiers. Discussions with potential debt financiers continued during the quarter as the Company aims to commence relevant due diligence streams with a view to obtaining credit approved term sheets. With the engineering and technical aspects of the Project and the offtake process all progressing well, the Company is targeting the mandating of debt financiers during the next few months.

CFO Appointment

In August, the Company appointed highly experienced financier Mr Tim Feather as Chief Financial Officer[5] . With over 25 years of experience in corporate finance with a strong focus on advising and fundraising for mining and oil and gas companies, Tim will be an important part of the executive team that is progressing the Steelpoortdrift and Tweefontein operations to FID, particularly with regards to discussions with offtakers, debt funders, EPC contractors and other stakeholders.

Summary of Expenditure for the Quarter

During the Quarter, a total of $513,414 was spent on activities related to the exploration and development of the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project. The Company did not incur any expenditure for mining production activities during the Quarter.

Payments totaling approximately $65,338 were made to related parties of the Company with respect to the Quarter, being director and consulting fees (see section 6.1 and 6.2 of the Accompanying 5B).
